50 Best Wine Bars near Belmont

“Mark and Toni's might have a bit of an outdated atmosphere, but their food is really really good. I eat out about once a week, and this is usually my go-to place 50% of the time. Their side of chicken tenders is the best in the area, the meatless sub is super well balanced and has excellent flavor, and they have good other things too (fries, chicken parm, etc.). I will say that their pizza is mid.“

“Quality ingredients. A sublime attention to detail. Balance in salty, umami and heat. The broccoli Caesar is a must have along with the homemade ricotta. I sat at Chefs counter and got wonderful attention from everyone. Amazing!“

“Popped in on a visit to Boston and was thoroughly impressed. Very intricate list, with adventurous but thoughtful picks and a staff knowledgeable enough to guide you through it. The half bottle allowance is a game changer - could easily splurge without feeling guilty here. Super happy for it to be on my radar and grateful for their suggestions for other wine hubs in the Boston area.“

“Cozy and intimate spot with a good variety of wine options that seem to change often. Make sure you get reservations because there aren't a lot of tables. There are some small snack options like a cheese board, and deserts, too. The creme brulee and chocolate cake are really tasty!“

“Never disappoints. Small plates and a few entrees. Extensive wine offerings. Superb service.“

“Y’ALLLLLL. As someone who truly hates american brunch/diner spots this is the best best place I have ever tried. So many brunch places all taste the same, and the chefs are always scared of seasoning for whatever reasoning. I got their cinnabon pancakes, a friend got their nashville chicken and waffles, another got their breakfast sammy, homefries and another dish I can’t remember. Regardless everyone’s food was amazing. I was genuinely geeking out by how good the food was! I finally found a good brunch spot! Thanks guys! Food is TENNN“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“An absolutely fantastic dining experience at Giulia. This is the kind of place that reminds you why great Italian restaurants are so special—thoughtful dishes, incredible flavors, and an atmosphere that feels both intimate and memorable.

Every dish we had was outstanding. The seafood pasta special with seabass and calamari was exceptional—perfectly prepared and packed with flavor. The squash appetizer was another highlight and set the tone for a meal where every course felt carefully crafted and unique. From start to finish, the food was creative, balanced, and simply delicious.

The service matched the quality of the food—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. It’s exactly the kind of experience you hope for when dining at a private Italian restaurant where the focus is clearly on great food and great hospitality.

To cap it all off, the post-meal limoncellos were excellent and the perfect finish to a memorable dinner.

If you enjoy Italian cuisine that’s both authentic and inventive, Giulia is an absolute must-visit.“

“Food and service were excellent. The main room is very noisy. We asked for a quiet table so they sat us on the porch which is much quieter. However, there was a dirty ceiling contraption directly overhead blowing cold air on us. Felt like AC. Not necessary since it was 6 degrees outside. Very uncomfortable.“

“My mom and I got a light dinner and drinks and absolutely loved it. The food was phenomenal. My mom’s favorite was the broccoli and I couldn’t decide my fave between the broccoli, chicken skewers, and brussel sprouts. Allergies were so well cared for. We will definitely be back.“

“Amazing restaurant, I love it. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Tatiana was not only a superb waitress, but managed the floor hosting and held down the kitchen cooking while she was severely understaffed. To say she was a woman of many hats would be an accurate statement. The wine was spectacular, and the food was second to none, specifically the eggplant. This is your place to go for delicious food and wine in southie.“

“Small, curated selection of unusual wines and fun cocktails. Bartenders are friendly and give detailed descriptions if you ask. I had the champagne cocktail and a glass of 'orange' wine (white wine fermented with the grape skins and seeds).“

“We had an incredible experience at Grill 23 & Bar — easily the best steakhouse we’ve been to in Boston. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was phenomenal. We ordered both the filet mignon and the ribeye, and each steak was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The sides were just as memorable — the macaroni and cheese was rich and comforting, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly prepared, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. Adding the Béarnaise sauce on the side was absolutely worth it and paired beautifully with the steaks. Dessert was the perfect ending: warm chocolate chip cookies served with vanilla ice cream — simple, classic, and done flawlessly. A huge highlight of the evening was our waiter, Bernardo. We will absolutely be requesting him on future visits. He offered thoughtful suggestions, anticipated our needs effortlessly, and somehow managed to be there exactly when we needed him — and never when we didn’t, if that makes sense. Just genuinely attentive, professional, and welcoming service that elevated the entire experience. An unforgettable dinner all around. We can’t wait to come back.“

“From start to finish it was awesome!!! Food, drinks and service were amazing! Rodi was an amazing hostess, thank you for the awesome experience. Patrick, Annelice and Breana. Ps. Romania 🇷🇴 here we come. 😂“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“I love when a place is so good I want to spend my uber ride writing about it. My friend and I popped in for dessert and drinks and I’m so happy we did. The apple cake was probably my best bite of the year so far. The girls working are the nicest most accommodating people ever. Everything about this place is intentional yet cozy. I simply can’t wait to go back!“

“By far the best, authentic Italian food in the North End. We have dined at several restaurants but the service, ambience and food is the best! They make their own pasta and sauces daily. I cannot recommend Casarecce enough. Delicioso.“

“Great romantic spot for a casual date. Fun staff great wines, good music, killer ambiance“

“Very Energetic! Bartender was fantastic“

“The food was beyond amazing! The vibe of the restaurant was magnificent and the service exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly and respectfully attended to throughout our dining experience. This restaurant has now made it to our top 10 local restaurants as this was our 3rd consecutive visit. I definitely recommend Boston Restaurant Bar & Grill.“

“First time there the food was great would recommend to anyone who is in Boston.“

“I attended an event yesterday at this amazing Restaurant. The atmosphere is so inviting, the drinks were delicious. Food was absolutely scrumptious. And the staff all so kind and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in for a cocktail or dinner, you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Incredible! I dine here all the time.“

“First time at Bubble Bath after a recommendation from a friend to check it out. So happy with everything. Drinks were top notch. Views of Boston and Cambridge added to the ambience and great DJ playing good music. The caviar biscuit is a nice bump of caviar on a savory biscuit. Highly recommend for the views and drinks and service.“

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.“

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“Food: WOW! Their tapas were amazing. Best spot I have ever had in Boston. We ordered 4 among the 3 of us and it was the perfect portion. I will be dreaming about all of them!!!

Service: Tapas were pretty fast! Service was good. No complaints.

Ambiance: SO clean inside! Bathrooms were super clean, lots of space to put coats and stuff too. Loved the interior design as well.“

“We had a wonderful time at the Boylston St location last Sunday. Our server Mac was awesome as were the reception staff and hosts. Food arrived well prepared and nicely presented. Wine that was recommended was also delicious. We will definitely be back!“

“I love this restaurant! Great food 🇵🇱“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

“Great food and great service! I even got gluten free chicken parm and spaghetti which was excellent! They have a wonderful food and drink menu. Our server Jess was was excellent as well. The manager Nick greeted us when we came in and found us a great table by the window. So the bottom line is, this is a great restaurant and I'm so happy we found this little gem! We will be back!“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Everything 10/10. From start to finish — the food, hospitality, music, vibes. We sat at the bar with Renato who was just the best. We tried the meatballs, garlic bread (omg?), the pepperoni with pearl onions, roasted squash pizza and tiramisu — from start to finish everything was absolutely incredible. We are now garlic bread groupies and can’t wait to be back! 5🌟“

“I went season 52 tonight for thanksgiving dinner , for the first time , the restaurant is amazing great atmosphere , The food was unbelievable, the best thanksgiving dinner ever , excellent service by Jodi M , she’s was very nice, polite and friendly I highly recommend this place ! I will be back for sure .“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Our first time at Baleia, and we’d absolutely recommend it and return. The savory cheese tarts, Portuguese sweet bread, and Whole Roasted Fish were the stand outs for us. In general, everything was cooked to perfection. The Mozambique Shrimp were the definition of succulent. My husband is not a huge fan of saffron, so the sauce wasn’t to his taste, but I found it delicious. The octopus carpaccio was bright, acidic, and so tender. A glass of Vinho Verde made for a well-rounded dinner.

The restaurant is beautiful, but it can become rather loud due to all the hard surfaces. We arrived at 6, but when we left at 8, the volume had increased significantly. Just a note for any of those that may need or prefer a quieter space.“

“Delicious food and great ambiance! We will come back!“

“Do yourself a favor - skip over the Boston restaurants and head straight here. I’ve been coming for years and the food never disappoints. The service is great. And there’s gluten free on Monday - what more could you want!? Fabulous.“

“I have heard a lot about Moo but never had gone yet. Was impressed and hype to be there. We were instantly greeted by the host really nicely and were brought to our table in the back section. Which I honestly enjoyed. The ambience was so really warm and inviting. My ideal type of ambience, dim lighting, loved it.

The food was genuinely delicious. Everything was a 10/10. Well worth the price point and the hype around Moo.

Service was also a 10/10. Our server was extremely professional and not pressuring us about anything…. We needed some time to look since we were in conversation.

I also knew someone from the past, Crisman! He is the best of the best and was really grateful to run into him and he made sure we had a great time as well and enjoyed everything.

Would definitely come back. Great place for a date, a business meeting or like a celebration.“

“I was pleasantly surprised for a hotel restaurant breakfast. The coffee was delicious, on the stronger side of my taste but still great. I had the Cuban breakfast sandwich: think egg McMuffin with Cuban pork and jamón and pickles. Fantastic! The potatoes were well crisped and seasoned as well. As for atmosphere, we were there early and were the only table so I can’t really tell you but the decor was nice and I could see it be a fun spot later in the day.“

“Our party of 14 had the wonderful opportunity for the private room Sunday June 5th. The 50th anniversary party was treated royally by Ron and Sharon. Their service and knowledge of the entrees was spot on. The kitchen staff didn't disappoint! Everything about our visit just needed to be acknowledged! Thank you.“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“Our dinner was outstanding and I have been to Puritan many times and have loved it each time but this experience was really notable. The main courses and salads were delicious and our service was delightful. Thank you for a great evening out!“

“It is always dependable and delicious“

“Vertigo Trio would like to thank Prep Neighborhood Kitchen for an incredible meal at our gig in their restaurant last night. Just absolutely fabulous! These guys are like "Bear" but with less swearing and death threats!“

“Beautiful interior and food was amazing. The staff and bartenders were very attentive as well.“

“Wonderful food and great service in an amazing setting!“
